Subject: backgr mail sedning

Hi,

I was using Pine3.91, and have upgraded to 3.95. It's much more cool. But
facing one inconvenience. When I send a mail in 3.95 by pressing Ctrl-X,
it seems, it tries to send the mail to the MTA (on our case sendmail)
immediately, which in turn return success after looking up the host name
of the address etc. As a result sendmail mail has become a bit
problematic, specially if some nameserver is down etc. So how I can I
change the setup on 3.95 for complete background mail sending?

I compiled the sources on a 1.2.13 Linux kernel.

Please cc me too when replying if you're reading this on a
newsgroup/mailing list. 

Thanx.

When you compiled Pine did you find and uncomment the "BACKGROUND_POST"
definition within the pine/osedp/os-xxx.h file?

If this *EXPERIMENTAL* feature is supported on your flavour of UNIX you
should then have an "enable-background-sending" option in your Setup
Configuration screen.

See the Release Notes ("R" at the Main Menu) for more information (search
for "background" by giving the command "W" then "backgorund".).

Cheers,
